There are Always Two Shots to Take!

One thing many folks forget in the excitement of capturing a nice image is that there are always two shots to take; the horizontal and the vertical. It's amazing how few amateurs remember this simple rule in landscape photography and return home with only half the really great shots they could have.

Have a great weekend!

Workshop Preparation – The Little Things That Count

In landscape photography its the little things that count. One of the most important aspects of creating a well composed landscape image is knowing where "level" is. This is especially true when your background is hilly or mountainous. We use our sense of "level" so much every day that a person will look at an image on the web or in print and instinctively know if it's not perfectly level.

Finding the perfect "level" has become fairly easy for Nikon shooters since inclusion of a Virtual Horizon in the D3, D300 and D700 firmware.

This wonderful little feature was made famous last year in a hilarious post by Joe McNally. I'm not quite sure this was exactly the publicity Nikon was looking for but it certainly demonstrated the feature well.

Luckily, the folks at Adorama sell a great little Hot Shoe Bubble Level 337 made by Manfrotto that takes all the guesswork out of finding a perfect "level" in our landscape images. For about $33.00 (USD) it's a great little Holiday gift too.

Texas Landscape Safari – Pedernales Falls

Here's another shot taken at Pedernales Falls State Park on a warm, muggy summer evening. The summer long drought had lowered the river's level enough to expose the wonderful color of the limestone boulders cut by the water thousands and thousands of years ago. Each time I visit this unique spot, I find another feature of these beautiful falls just waiting to be photographed. That's the truly wonderful thing about shooting waterfalls. They are constantly changing with the flow of the water.

Pedernales Falls State Park is the fourth stop on the Texas Landscape Safari beginning October 18th and running through October 21st. Given the weather forecast for next week and the rain we've had lately I'm certain we'll all get some nice shots at the falls.

Add a Little Vibrance!

Take a quick test. Walk outside on a bright and sunny day and look at the sky and the trees. Now put on a pair of sunglasses and look again. Notice how much more "vibrant" everything looks? Notice how the sky is a deeper, richer blue and the leaves on the trees are a softer and more earthy green?

This is "vibrance" and it's your minds perception of colors and textures in the absence of glare. Glare is a harsh, white reflected light that overpowers the colors and textures in a scene and it's pure death for a landscape photographer. That's why most landscape images are taken during the early morning or late afternoon hours, when the sun is low in the sky and the harsh reflections are at a minimum. Glare is why we buy sunglasses and why we use polarizing filters on our lenses.

Adding Vibrance in Lightroom

Vibrance is what landscape photographers strive to capture in their images. It's that very subtle combination of color and tone that makes a landscape image compelling. Unfortunately, most raw file formats seem to lack vibrance and it's up to the photographer to add this key ingredient back during post capture processing.

Luckily, this is very simple using the Presence controls in Adobe Lightroom 2. Making this even easier is the Punch preset which increases the Clarity and Vibrance but leaves the Saturation unchanged, which is vital to creating an image that is vibrant without being over-saturated.
